Toy Caldwell wrote "Heard It In A Love Song" for the Marshall Tucker Band's 1977 album Carolina Dreams, and it became the Southern rockers' highest-charting single, climbing to No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 that June. Capricorn put it out, and it crossed over too: No. 25 on the Adult Contemporary chart, No. 51 on the country chart, and an even bigger hit in Canada, where it reached No. 5 on the pop chart.
The trade papers liked what they heard. Cash Box singled out the pure vocals and the fine playing on flute and guitars, and Record World heard rock and country stirred together into something with real flavor.
